The army march to the decisive battle of Dien bien phu of 1954

“Hát mãi khúc quân hành”
Singing the march song forever
(Engl lyric)
My life is one march,
My life is a soldier's song.
I sing all day long
Walking from the forest to the mountains,
From the borders to the far islands.

The first imported units have already arrived at a local port.

The GLE 400 e 4MATIC is equipped with the brand’s latest-generation hybrid powertrain, delivering a combined output of 381 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque.

The model is powered by a 2.0L M254 petrol engine, paired with an electric motor and a 25.28 kWh battery pack.

This is the first time the German automotive brand has offered a PHEV in Vietnam.

Plug-in hybrids combine a combustion engine with an electric motor but can be externally charged like a fully electric vehicle.


According to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) standard, the GLE 400 e can travel 95-114 kilometers on pure electric power, making it well-suited for urban commuting.

With an 11 kW AC charger, the battery can be replenished in about 2.75 hours.

Meanwhile, the standard 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system ensures stable performance across varied terrain.

A representative of Mercedes-Benz Vietnam said the launch signals the beginning of the company’s PHEV line-up expansion, aimed at offering more efficient mobility solutions to Vietnamese customers.

Vietnam’s plug-in hybrid segment remains relatively small, but is emerging as a new hotspot in the premium car market.
